    Sure, Rob, although I normally ignore messages containing code
    written with Parallax's assembler...

    The main problem with your code is that you expect RTCC/TMR0 to
    run while the processor's asleep.  It doesn't.

    There are LOTS of other issues, but they're sorta superfluous
    when compared to this one.
